Chapter 1718 - 1718:
Liu Zhizhong knew that the Ruan father and daughter and Weng Xingban had been greatly impacted and were sleeping deeply, so he didn't go to wake them up for the time being. He just let them sleep in the car while he went to the front desk to discuss some big business.
At the front desk of this estate hotel called "Shazhou," there were two night service staff members, a standard male-female pair.
In the lobby, there were two armed security guards with an impressive demeanor.
Carrying a heavy suitcase, Liu Zhizhong placed it at the front desk, and after securing a room, he directly asked in fluent Valle dialect: "If I were to book this hotel long-term, how much would it cost? I mean, on an annual basis."
The two staff members were dumbfounded at first glance. Where had they ever seen such a customer?
Immediately, they responded, "Sir, thank you for your recognition of our establishment. But for such a large annual booking, we've never done it before, and we'd need to consult the manager."
"Okay, could you please consult for me?"
The staff promptly reported this to the manager. The manager was shocked – was there really such a customer?
The manager quickly consulted the back-end owner, inquiring about the feasibility and the price bottom line.
About twenty minutes later, a response came back, with the price quoted at 1.3 million a year, all-inclusive, and it would no longer be open to others.
Liu Zhizhong haggled slightly, and the bottom line price was revealed: 1.08 million, all yours!
Without hesitation, Liu Zhizhong agreed directly.
He opened the suitcase, which was full of US dollars, paid in cash by exchange rate, leaving the counterpart stunned.
Even the two armed guards in the lobby were shocked, but they still remained in their original positions.
The area around Nachu Temple is just that delightful, or one could say Kachin City is just that delightful. With money, many things can be accomplished.
Soon after, they got busy, the money counter whirled into action, counting swiftly.
Once the money was paid, everything was settled.
The front desk told Liu Zhizhong that there were still a few guests to check out tomorrow, and once they had left, the entire hotel would belong to him, with all the staff wholeheartedly serving them.
However, the hotel's dining expenses were charged separately.
Liu Zhizhong didn't mind and agreed to everything; it was all normal.
Afterward, Liu Zhizhong was guided by security to park his car in the exclusive parking spot.
The car stopped, and only then did Liu Zhizhong wake up Ruan father and daughter and Weng Xingban, letting them return to the hotel room to sleep.
This estate-like hotel mostly consisted of small villa-style rooms, with a total of nine small villas and an additional four-story house containing rooms, a kitchen, and a restaurant.
Uncle Ruan, Ruan Yu, and Weng Xingban were stunned again at the sight of this hotel.
Liu Zhizhong's grand gesture really opened their eyes and broadened their horizons. They truly couldn't believe their eyes.
For the moment, the Ruan father and daughter stayed in a small villa, luxurious and superior.
Weng Xingban stayed alone in another villa, totally bewildered.
Liu Zhizhong, too, stayed alone in a villa, as per standard arrangements.
For Ruan Yu and the three others, it was like a dream. Listening to Liu Zhizhong say "We'll just stay here nicely, live for a year and see, and I'll cover all the meal costs" made them even more astounded.
Weng Xingban was dumbfounded, "Uh, Brother Zhongshui, are we... not returning to Chishui Village?"
In a calm tone, Liu Zhizhong replied, "Why go back? From now on, your house in Chishui Village will be your old home!"
"So... what will we do here?"
